I wear my Stunna Glasses at night

Welcome home, ya stunna!


The Queen of Specs has returned from the eyewear trade show in New York! She had quite a successful journey, purchasing *NEW* shapes from our existing lines (Anne et Valentin, Francis Klein, Lafont, ic! berlin, and Theo).

New! Thierry Lasry! Coming soon!

She also sidled on over and successfully picked up Thierry Lasry sunglasses and Rapp eyewear!

It went like this:

Queen of Specs: Hey
Thierry Lasry: Hey
Queen of Specs: Wanna come over to my place?
Thierry Lasry: Heck yeah!

It's impossible to resist the charms of such a looker

Queen of Specs: Hey
Rapp: Hey
Queen of Specs: Did it hurt?
Rapp: Did what hurt?
Queen of Specs: When you fell from Heaven?

She's so smooth!

Eye Spy + Purple Cat-Eye = LOVE!

And a reminder--for the whole month of April, Eye Spy is celebrating a GREEN SCENE. If you ride your bike or the CTA to Eye Spy, you get 10% off a pair of Rx specs. If you donate an old pair of glasses, you receive $25 off a new pair of Rx frames! So come on by and celebrate a greener earth with Eye Spy!

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

This week, our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK, is a familiar face 'round these parts. He may just be the father of our royal Queen of Specs. Does that make him the King of Eyewear? In these Theo frames, yes, yes it does. So let's all stand and cheer for our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK, Bob Fields.

Alissa chose these Theo frames especially for her dad, and wow does Bob look great! Lucky guy to have a daughter who can hook you up with Theo frames!

When it's hot out, you gotta find new ways of stayin' cool, Daddy-O

Congratulations, Bob! Your new Theo frames look ****awesome****

We've got a new look!

Check it out!!!

Hey You!! Look at me!!

Eye Spy has a new look!

green is the new awesome

You know us, at Eye Spy, we like to be as green as possible. For a while, we've been bored with our plain brown facade. It didn't accurately represent the Eye Spy attitude!

Then, Alissa had the brilliant idea of putting astro-turf on the store! She cut the panels in her own back yard and put them up with Velcro, so when we remove the middle two panels, we have a fun purple chalkboard hidden away! Wait, there's more!

It turns out the astro-turf is made out of recycled materials. So we did get the green facade we've always wanted. It just took a little elbow grease and a lot of clever thinkin'!

THANK YOU! CHICAGO READER BEST OF 2009!!!

Eye Spy Optical has been named the BEST EYEWEAR SHOP in the Chicago Reader's "Best of 2009" issue!!!!

THANK YOU for your votes!

Our fearless leader and owner assisting two lovely customers

Murphy still takes a nap in the store every now and then.

Eye Spy has been a part of Lincoln Avenue for more than 10 years! In that time we've been named by NEW CITY as the "Best Place to Get Eyewear" and we've been named the store with the "Best Designer Eyewear." And now, we can add the CHICAGO READER "Best of 2009" to our list of accolades. Gosh, Chicago, you're making us blush!

At Eye Spy we try to give you the best customer service possible. We love our frames and we want to share their special and unique features with you when you're choosing your new specs. It's about a whole lot more than liking a color.

When you walk into Eye Spy, we want you to feel like you're visiting a friend's house--a friend's house with awesome glasses everywhere!!!

It's about what shape fits your face. It's about what color will make your eyes shine! It's about the little details that are handcrafted onto each frame whether it be hand painted etching or frame designs inspired by Andy Warhol.

Our expert advice is only rivaled by that doled out on "What Not to Wear" (but, honestly, they've got nothing on us)

We also give you the best lenses on the market. We are always right on top of the latest technologies, making them available to you and increasing our own knowledge of what lenses and products will help you see clearly!

We always have time to explain the intricacies of lens options and coatings.

So, thank you thank you thank you, for supporting us and voting us as the BEST EYEWEAR SHOP IN CHICAGO!!! If there was a poll, we'd definitely vote you as the BEST CUSTOMERS ON EARTH!

Admiring her new panther frames, great choice!!!

Happy (belated) Halloween!

Omigosh, here at Eye Spy, we love Halloween sooo much!

Who can resist a day filled with candy and dress-up fun?!

We hope you had a great Halloween weekend too!
